Milan Fashion Week

It will probably not come as a surprise, but the one thing we absolutely loved about Milan Fashion Week was the sports feel!! Max Mara’s big hello to a sporty fresh look with tropical vibes combined with Versace’s luxe-sportswear were enough to makes us fall in love with Milan’s Spring Summer 2017 shows. The celebrity involvement from the likes of Fergie, Paris Hilton and Naomi Campbell only topped things off for us. Gucci’s sequinned underground nightclub catwalk setting was great, and the throwbacks to 60s, 70s and 80s seen throughout the shows brought a great old-school sense. Another bit we absolutely loved were Gucci’s two for one shoes – the leather ballet flat detaches from its platform base to give the wearer a low-high option – brilliant!! What were your favourite bits from Milan? xxx

Our Fashion Month Picks!

Going for a completely packed blog entry today, we have decided to combine our picks from the New York, London, Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks in one post! Surely you will agree that the past month was filled with truly beautiful creations. We especially loved the incredible stages each city's runways turned into during Fashion Week. From the cinema experience (complete with popcorn!) staged by Marc Jacobs in New York, to Anya Hindmarch's symmetrical optical illusions seen in London, to Dolce & Gabbana's selfie girls in Milan, and of course the Paris shows that saw Chanel in their own airport lounge, Louis Vuitton's digital punk stage and Hussein Chalayan's show-stopping dissolving clothes.

It was also great to see the environment play a big part in designer collections as seen with Vivienne Westwood's "Fash Mob" demonstration before her SS16 show. We also loved how Christopher Raeburn keeps sustainability at the heart of fashion with his SS16 show and how Dior planted half a million bluebells to create a biodynamic set for their latest collection in Paris.

Stella McCartney's new collection was another winner in our eyes, as were Missoni and Jacquemus' playfully colourful pieces (not forgetting that white horse!). Wardrobe classics from Ralph Lauren, Boss and Trussardi were great to see, as of course were the abundance of must have bows and accessories seen throughout. It might not come as a complete surprise however that we absolutely loved the Chloé SS16 collection with it's sophisticated sportswear influenced pieces matched with innocent feminine light fabrics and bows.

What are your picks, we'd love to hear from you! xx
